Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Field Testing - Part 8: Full Displacement Pressuremeter Test
Also Known As:
ISO 22476-8:2018 is a standard that specifically focuses on the full displacement pressuremeter (FDP) test. It provides detailed information regarding the equipment requirements, execution, and reporting of these tests. The purpose of this standard is to ensure consistent and reliable results, which are crucial in geotechnical investigations and testing.
The FDP test is performed in order to measure the deformation of soils and weak rocks in situ. It involves the use of a cylindrical flexible membrane that expands or contracts under pressure. The test enables geotechnical engineers to assess various parameters related to the soil or rock, such as stiffness, strength, and stress-strain behavior.
This standard is in line with the requirements set out in EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2, which are European standards governing geotechnical investigation services.
